Somedays I wish I was the blogger who had an Erin Condren planner full of ideas and topics to post about. Really, I do. It would make days like today so much easier. However, I've come to the realization that I'll never be that girl, I'll never be that overly organized blogger who has all of her shit together. Maybe that means I need to take this more seriously? I don't really know what it means, I just know that for me I get more inspired by seeing a blank page to start writing my thoughts on than a planner telling me what to do.

I've never enjoyed being bossed around. Even if I'm the one doing the bossing.

Today I have no ideas, no topics, nothing. Today I have this blank page and I'm feeling slightly defeated as far as my blog goes. I don't know where the feelings of defeat are stemming from but sometimes they take over and I like to think it's what helps me to get more creative and start thinking a little harder. These are the days I think feeling defeated is a good thing. Kind of like the defeat is the foot to kick my creativity's ass in gear, if you will.

I really don't think feeling defeated is a bad thing, in this case at least. This feeling makes me want to work harder to be better, to reach higher. Not to say that I'm going to start writing in my glorified paperweight planner, because I'd be lying to myself if I wrote that here right now, but I think it's time for the creative juices to start brewing a little hotter.

It's so easy to get burned out when you do this 5+ days a week and it's even easier to turn down a path of things that aren't necessarily on the road you initially wanted your blog to be. We have to challenge ourselves when we feel defeat, that's how we get over the humps and get stronger, I think.

I'll never be the blogger who has it all together. 

That means there will be days I get defeated and days I sit here and ramble to a blank screen, it all means I have to work harder. 

I'm okay with that.

And that's all I've got today.

It's Wednesday and not only does that mean it's your favorite day of the week to think dirty things about, it also means it's time for me to pretend I'm a celebrity gossip blogger.


Miley and Liam are, hands down, my favorite Hollywood couple ever. Mostly because of my love for Miley which runs as deep as the ocean. Anyways, there have been speculations that the two have tied the knot finally but according to both of them this is all false.
I just wish they would get this show on the road. I need to see what kind of dress Miley wears. And how sexy Liam looks in a tux.

Raise your hand if you really thought I was never coming back today? Whoops. This late post is a total coincidence  Or maybe I just know myself a little too well...


I am a creature of habit in every way, shape, and form, which I learned many of you are from all of your Facts of Me linkups. We're all a bunch of habitual freaks and I'm totally content with that.

Currently I'm sitting here chowing down on some Chick-n-Minis from Chickfila and sipping on an iced coffee made me yours truly, moi. Throw in some casual blog reading, Instagram roaming, stalking tweets from the wee hours of the night and you've got my typical morning routine. So, the Chickfila part might not actually be every morning, I think we've established that I'm a self proclaimed budget diva, but if I could squeeze it in there every morning (which would probably cause me to no long be able to squeeze in my pants... yoga or any other type) I'd do it.

Get to the point already, right? Well, I don't know that I really have a point. I just, kind of, wanted to make a list of the current things I can't seem to shake.


As I mentioned, I can't get enough of Chickfila's Chick-n-Minis. Why are they so delicious? I simply can't explain. All I can tell you is that they are the greatest $2.40 I can spend in one day.

Hey there. I guess I should start this out by saying that not only is one of my very besticals probably never coming back to blogging, but I probably won't either.

Go here to read about why my girl Samilicious won't be returning to blog-ville.

Now, as far as my story goes? Allow me to paint a vivid picture of my weekend for you.

It started as innocent as a Saturday could be. And by innocent I mean purchasing enough Jack Daniels for Luke Bryan's entire tour bus. And by entire tour bus I mean just me and him.

Oh, and Fireball. Because it's not a Saturday without shots of Fireball.

I put on my favorite plaid shirt and boots, shoved as many mini liquor bottles in them as I could fit, and headed out to what I thought was just an innocent night at a country concert. You know, day drinking, singing at the top of my lungs and the most carefree dancing one can perform in a public setting.

I may or may not have tried to figure out ways to sneak the dogs to the concert with me.

Fun fact: I can successfully fit 4 mini bottles of Jack Daniels in my boots.

I was feeling pretty good, just making my way to the show, when I ran in to a man who looked a lot like Luke Bryan. He had the brightest white smile, his hair was just perfect and I swear his accent resembled what I imagine angels sound like. He asked me if I was headed to the show to which I looked up and down at my outfit and clearly told him of course I was.

Turns out, the sexy Luke Bryan look-a-like wasn't a look-a-like, he was the actual Luke Bryan and once he smelled the Fireball whiskey on me he invited me to his tour bus. He ended up canceling his set that night to spend the rest of the evening with me and it was like a dream.

The next morning I woke up in his tour bus (oops... hey, you would have too.). When I opened my eyes that sexy country man was on one knee and said some of the sweetest words to me. Before I knew it I had a ring on my finger and was doodling Mrs. Whitney Bryan on a leftover bar receipt I found in my purse. I didn't even care if I still had my debt card or what the tabs from the night before equated to. My life was officially changed forever.

Sunday afternoon we had our engagement photos taken. I think they turned out phenomenally. What do you think?

It really was such a great weekend and trust me, I'm just as in shock as you all are. Like I said, I'm not sure if continuing this blogging thing is in my cards... Lukey (that's my pet name for him) wants me to go on the rest of the tour with him, so you can imagine how busy I'm going to be. Obviously I don't want to abandon my sweet interwebz space but just look at that sexy smile. I can't say no to it, you know?

I really just hope Adam Levine doesn't take this news too badly, I know he's been planning on putting a ring on this for a hot minute now. Obviously Beyonce said it best. If you like it, put a ring on that shit. Sorry, Adam!

It was strangely peaceful walking around the lake, burger, cupcake, and dogs a tow. I was able to actually enjoy alone time, which isn't something I'm accustomed to doing. Maybe I'm not so bad after all.

I brought my foil wrapped greasy food back to my apartment, put my favorite slippers on, and sipped on a beer while watching the same Sex and the City reruns I've seen 50 times. I couldn't help but continue asking myself why I don't do this for myself more often?
I'm totally dateable!

I don't really know where I'm going with this, I just felt a sense of strange peace come over me after my grease binge last night. I also slept through the entire night without waking up, which happens about as often as June Boo Boo takes a shower. Maybe it was the nearly 1,000 calories I took in at one sitting, but I don't think so, I think I was just relaxed.
I've got to do this more often.

I can hardly handle how many of you stopped by yesterday to linkup your fun facts. Fun doesn't even begin to describe how yesterday was for me on this blog. So, for that I thank you all soo much for linking up. Really, seeing so many amazing blogging ladies connecting with one another on a positive level was just so surreal. What a day!

Today I'm staying true to my new Wednesday series, so let's see what's been going on in the celeb gossip world this week, shall we?

Homie, was on top of his game, literally, until something even worse than your team getting their ass handed to them by a team far superior happened... Not only was it blatantly proven that his team was, in fact, nowhere near good enough to be considered the #1 college football team, we all found out that Manatee has been rocking a fake girlfriend.

While I personally gave my imaginary companions up somewhere during the time I started growing adult teeth, who am I to judge? Perhaps Mr. Potato is just a really, really late bloomer. 

Or nucking futs.

The presidential inauguration happened on Monday afternoon. As always a slew of the who's who was in attendance, including one Bill Clinton. 

Oh Willie Clinton, some things never change. While I'm sure Ms. Clarkson has a Hollywood grade ass, I'd imagine after all of these years you would have perfected your sneaky glance by now. What would Hilary say? You're right, she probably does believe you thought you saw a clown. I forget you're a veteran in all things adultery.

The good news is that it wasn't Beyonce's ass you laid those eyes on. Something tells me JayZ knows people.

A few months ago the youngest prince of Whales, Prince Harry, found himself in America's most dangerous city for a single man. A one Sin City, or Vegas if you are completely oblivious. He managed to commit many sins during his visit to Sin City, shaming his entire royal family and further confirming the lack of morals in Americans.

Well, this week Hare Hare came forward and spoke publicly about his Vegas night. It turns out sweet, innocent Hare has a horrible judge of character. He claims he thought he could trust everyone in the hotel room that night.

I mean, what friend would ever sell a story of a prince?

(answer: me)

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber broke up a few weeks ago and they are not letting us forget it. I can't give them too much crap though, they are doing a hell of a lot better than I did during my first break up. 

At least they're leaving their houses. And showering.

What would a celeb gossip update be without a mention of the Queen of Hot Mess herself, Ms. Lindsay Lohan?

It seems some certifiably insane misinformed employee at Dancing with the Stars, who may or may not be trying to lose their job, has been trying to get CrazyPants Lohan aboard the 2013 cast. She's been offered as much as $550,000 to pretend she's interested in learning ballroom dancing and yet, somehow, her ego remains larger than her failed career.

Apparently CrazyPants is above reality TV and here all along I thought doing heroin and/or owing the government mass amounts of money was an ultimate low.

Hey DWTS, call me.

On Sunday I announced that today was going to be hosting a one time only linkup and today is the day! 

Let's hope it's not a major fail. (fact - I'm pretty self conscience like that)

I'm a very nosey blog reader, admittedly. I'm the blog reader who sees an 'about me' page and immediately clicks it before I even read the initial post. When I see a blogger do the occasional "catch up" about me post, my heart fluffs up and I hear angels sing.

In attempts to get more acquainted with my readers I thought it would be really fun to have an about me type of linkup, so here we are...

Let's talk about facts, baby!

So, what are your fun facts?

Recently I was the given the opportunity to learn about The Shine Project which is not only a blog but also a company ran by a beautiful (no really, she's absolutely stunning) woman by the name of Ashley. The Shine Project is a company who employs at risk youth in America, to help them go to college. Let me tell you, these kids make some of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry. These kids have got some serious skills!

When I loaded the store's online shop I was completely floored. Not only is this an amazing company but the jewelry was gorgeous, I couldn't believe kids in high school were making them. To say I was having trouble picking out my favorite pieces would be a vast understatement, I wanted one of everything for me and every single one of my girl friends.

Don't forget to linkup with me tomorrow and share your fun facts!
